The Marquess before Moonlight
(2026)(A book in the Ashford Chronicles series)
A novel by Siobhan Lynch
Before Juliet found her duke in a moonlit folly, there was another love story. This is how it began.
The Ashford Chronicles — The Prequel
He inherited a title, an estate, and a bride he never chose.
At twenty-three, Richard Ashford never expected to become the Marquess of Ashford. But his father's sudden death brings not only the weight of a vast estate — it brings the discovery of an arrangement made without his knowledge. His marriage to Miss Elizabeth Whitcombe has already been decided.
Elizabeth knew the marriage was coming. The dutiful eldest daughter of a politically ambitious father, she has been raised to understand that marriage is a matter of alliance, not affection. But when she meets the grieving young marquess, she finds a man struggling under obligations he never sought — and a match far more complicated than she anticipated.
What begins as duty becomes something neither of them expected. Two strangers, thrown together by other people's plans, learning to carry their obligations ''' and each other — with something approaching grace.
Before the Ashford daughters took London by storm, their parents had to figure out how to become partners first.
The Marquess Before Moonlight is the prequel to The Ashford Chronicles — the Regency romance series following the Ashford family through love, scandal, and an alarming number of compromising situations. Can be read before Book 1 or after, but brings its own rewards either way.
Contains tender love scenes.
Genre: Historical Romance
